Pre-show Katie

Katie Holmes has been on a tear. She cut Tom loose. She took the baby. She put Scientology on defensive. And everyone loves her. It’s been nothing but win for Katie for a solid two months.

Today she shows at NY Fashion Week for the first time. Another win?

Here’s the thing: even if it’s sh-t, will they say it’s sh-t? Holmes & Yang have been pretty tight with media for their presentation. According to Page Six, some memo was sent around last night warning that the show was closed to all media save for the handful of specials who’d been invited.

Which, naturally, only makes people want to go even more.

Which might compel editors to encourage their critics to be kind so they’re granted access next time. Let’s compare later what the reviews say and what we see in the clothes.

Here’s Katie arriving at Lincoln Centre this morning in advance of the presentation.
